A Gadget To Hold Dental Abrasive Tape...?

Does anyone know of a gadget that can hold abrasive dental tape - something similar to a floss holder perhaps?
I have dental crowding and it breaks the floss and so i am gently using these strips between each tooth.
However its very awkward to do, especially for the back teeth.
Any ideas?
Ive searched but i'm not sure what to call it, all that shows up is floss holders
Thanks :)

...sorry, can't help with that query, but....have you tried expanding floss (also called superfloss). I used to have trouble with conventional floss, dentist suggested the expanding stuff....and, no more breaks!

I also have dental crowding that makes flossing very difficult. My dentist recommended I use a dental jet flosser and it has made all the difference.

I have a jet one, i cant use it - it just tickled my gums like mad and i cant stand it :D

I'll check out the superfloss, but this tape has been brilliant for the front ones so far
